I just received an alert. My score has dropped 18 pts. Reason: You may be looking for new credit...**bleep**! I haven't applied for anything in months. I did open a new checking account, but that alerted on 9/14, and my score actually increased a few days later on the 18th. Can someone explain this to me.Thu, 04 Oct 2012 19:43:20 GMThttp://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/REALLY/m-p/1625394#M210680Azumi12012-10-04T19:43:20ZRe: REALLY?!!http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/REALLY/m-p/1625400#M210681

Just checked my report, soft pull on 10/2. So why did it affect my score?Thu, 04 Oct 2012 20:33:52 GMThttp://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/REALLY/m-p/1625536#M210703Azumi12012-10-04T20:33:52ZRe: REALLY?!!http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/REALLY/m-p/1625584#M210708

<P>I remember reading a while back that somebody's score jumped because of a small typo.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>The bureau was reporting 9/12 instead of 9/1/2002</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>When it was fixed, their score shot up.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I would look for any and all typos. Did any fields change at all? Any dates change? What about balances? Do you see anything that was reporting as $0 no reporting as $.00.0.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I do believe that tiny little things can cause huge problems on reports. I'd go over with a fine tooth comb old reports vs new reports and any of the tiniest changes, I'd make a note of it. It could be something you didn't notice. Maybe something as small as a PAID vs PAID AS AGREED.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Keep looking.</P>Thu, 04 Oct 2012 22:18:41 GMThttp://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/REALLY/m-p/1625734#M210725Johnny_Favorite2012-10-04T22:18:41Z
